Slowly defeat creep unto our porch <br />And slavery approaches us unseen <br />Slowly our dignity leaves us unnoticed <br />And aliens seize our weapons <br />Numbness struck the people <br />And the brave ones are falling gradually <br />The guardians are weakened in the fight <br />But the hypocrisy of the tribes reinforces them <br /> <br />In unity you people shall stand <br />But fear places them apart <br />And they look on helplessly <br />As vultures devour them in turn <br />The voice of many echoes afar <br />But a lone man cries unheard in the desert <br />And death awaits in his path <br />But as we seek survival; <br />And cry for a change <br />Let the voice of Africa be one <br />And let poverty depart in peace.<br /><br />Bartholomew Arkoh Boamah Sarbah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-voice-africa/
